The Tea and Becky Foil Color Guide

Choosing a foil color is one of the easiest ways to coordinate your personalized favors with the rest of your celebration. Whether you're planning a timeless black-tie wedding, a romantic garden celebration, or a modern reception, your foil choice can help tie the details together.

Tea and Becky offers a wide selection of foil colors in shiny, brushed, and matte finishes. Available colors and finishes vary by product, so please refer to the personalization options shown in the Live Preview Tool on the product page when placing your order.

  A bright, reflective yellow gold and a timeless choice for weddings, anniversaries, and formal celebrations.

  Crisp, clean, and sophisticated. Beautiful with cool color palettes, winter weddings, and modern designs.

  Warm and romantic, with a soft metallic tone that pairs beautifully with blush, ivory, and other warm palettes.

  Additional shiny foil colors may include Burgundy, Cherry, Dusty Rose, Fuchsia, Purple, Royal Blue, Leaf Green, Lime, and more, depending on the product.

Brushed Foils

Brushed foils have a softer satin-like appearance with subtle shimmer rather than a highly reflective finish. They're a beautiful option for an understated, refined look.

• Brushed Gold
  A soft satin gold with an elegant, understated finish.
• Brushed Silver
  Clean, contemporary, and subtly metallic.

  Warm and sophisticated with a rich satin finish.
• More Brushed Colors
  Additional brushed finishes may include Red, Violet, Peacock, French Blue, Leaf Green, Green Tea, Fuchsia, and more, depending on the product.

Matte Foils

Matte foils have little to no metallic shine, creating a smooth finish that relies more on color and contrast than sparkle. They're a great choice for minimalist, contemporary, and classic designs.

• Classic Neutrals
  Colors such as White, Ivory, Sand, Dove Gray, Gray, Black, and Brown create timeless designs that coordinate with a wide variety of color palettes.
• Romantic Colors
  Options such as Pink, Candy Pink, Hot Pink, Cherry, Burgundy, and Violet can add warmth and personality to weddings, bridal showers, and other celebrations.
• Nature-Inspired Greens
  Colors such as Lime, Moss, Leaf, and Forest work beautifully with botanical themes, outdoor weddings, and earthy palettes.
• Blues & Brights
  Colors such as Peacock, Powder Blue, Royal, Orange, and Mimosa offer brighter options while maintaining a matte finish.

How to Choose the Right Foil Color

• Choose contrast.
  Personalization is easiest to read when there is enough contrast between the foil and the product color. Light foils generally show more clearly on darker backgrounds, while darker colors tend to stand out on lighter backgrounds.
• Coordinate with your wedding details.
  Consider colors already used in your invitations, table décor, florals, linens, or other wedding details when choosing your foil.
• Consider the finish.
  Shiny foils create a reflective metallic look, brushed foils have a softer satin appearance, and matte foils provide color without metallic shine.
• Keep it classic.
  If you're having trouble deciding, versatile colors such as Gold, Silver, White, Black, and Champagne coordinate easily with many wedding color palettes.

A Note About Color Accuracy

Every computer monitor, tablet, and mobile device displays color differently. Printing methods, foils, inks, papers, and product materials can also affect the appearance of the finished color.

For this reason, colors shown online may vary slightly from the finished product. Please use our color charts as a guide and select from the color options available in the Live Preview Tool for the product you are ordering.
